Portable int?

(talking about precise width ints)
By that definition, Windows programs are 'portable'.

Not entirely. The difference is that provided an implementation claims
ISO conformance, you are AFAIUI *guaranteed* that if it doesn't
support precise width integers then it won't define the types. OTOH a
platform need not support windows APIs, but can still cheerfully
define CreateWindowEx() and have it do something unexpected and/or
absurd.
